I don’t think people are digesting the fact that our President did NOTHING to stop coronavirus and is now saying 200,000 deaths would be a success.
It arrived in South Korea ON THE SAME FUCKING DAY as the US, they took it very seriously and in total only *158* people have died.

new @biorRxiv paper from @JenniferLu717 showing how Kraken2 and Braken are 100s of times faster (!) and just as accurate as the leading system for 16S metagenomics analysis.

Checkout my new paper on #bioRxiv, showing how Kraken 2 (and Bracken) are much faster/more accurate than Qiime2 at 16S analysis :) "Ultrafast and accurate 16S microbial community analysis using Kraken 2" biorxiv.org/cgi/content/shor… @StevenSalzberg1

Very briefly, the reason why "the richest country on Earth" is having critical shortages of crucial medical equipment is the same reason why it's so rich - because "the country" isn't what's rich. It's just the rich that are rich.
And they got there by plundering the world.

I am happy @arambaut clarified this point. We are also examining the genome specifically for evidence of changes that have any indication of possibly being selected, and so far there is very little evidence of that, from >2000 genomes

SCIENTISTS: If we don't stop this, it will destroy Earth.
PEOPLE: Oh no. How many people has it killed so far?
SCIENTISTS: None yet.
PEOPLE, SUDDENLY ARMED WITH STATISTICS: Why, that's fewer than traffic accidents! Fewer than vending machines! Fewer than

please, tech people. PLEASE. if you dont have a background working in healthcare/medicine, stop the hackathons and just give money.
the potential to do harm is too high, and designing for medicine is a thing. health communication/tooling is a specialty, not a weekend project.

My account request ~1 month ago was ignored. I did not follow up, and I imagine they are overwhelmed, but the barrier to access is a problem.
